"Maggie and I were tending to the babies with Beth when it happened." I whispered to Daryl who was holding me while I cried into his chest.
"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to." He said. But I had to talk about it. I had to get it out of my system.
"We were tending to the babies. We heard Carol scream down stairs. Beth went to go check it out. When she returned.... Those men had her. She held her hands behind her back and a man tied her wrist together. He looked at Maggie and I.... There were only two so we exchanged looks then took them down. Then we grabbed the kids and went with Beth to hide in the closet..." It was so hard reliving what had happened. My heart was breaking with every word.
"Then...Jason started crying in Beth's arms, another man must have heard because he came in to check the room. Jason let out a wailing cry and he heard. He came to the closet door and slung it open. He ripped us from our spots and took Jason from Beth. She liked at me with this face of sorrow. I knew she felt bad. The man started to bounce Jason up and down. Then he rocked Jason and talked baby talk to him. Then....." I couldn't it was so hard. Daryl must have sensed my pain because he gave me a lite squeeze to reassure me he was awake and listening.
"He grabbed Jason..... And twisted his neck..... He just snapped it.... My babies neck. He was only a 9 days old!"
I started crying more and Daryl started to rock me back and forth. He got into a rhythm and I started to slip into sleep. Deeper and deeper. Until my mind was away from earth. Away from my troubles.
